As Bollywood’s winning streak in sports tournaments continues, our television stars, too, are flaunting their sporty side. Take a look:
Football has been a very important part of Vivian Dsena’s life. The actor has often spoken about how as a child, he used to get up and practice in the mornings in his hometown in Ujjain. He makes sure to take out time from his busy schedule for his favourite sport even today. “I was a state level player and remember winning many awards for the same. I used to feel very happy getting awards and bringing the trophy home. I have a hectic life as an actor, but I do go and play football thrice a week,” he says.

Cricket has been Mrunal Jain’s favourite sport all his life. The actor says that he is not really obsessed with it, but loves the game for what it is. “I am playing in an upcoming cricket tournament. We actors really need to rejuvenate. There is life beyond acting and I feel that sports is a good outlet. I enjoy sports and believe that every person should indulge in at least one sports activity regularly,” he says.

Ankit Gera often enjoys playing cricket with street kids. The actor looks at the sport as a big motivation for him to find some entertainment in his work place too. “Whenever I am not shooting, I’m playing cricket with the local kids. I’ve liked playing the sport since my school days. It was more fun then because there were no worries. Now when I play with the villagers and their kids, I find it amusing,” he says.
